Data were compiled from the records of dental care given to 199 patients from 6 to 19 years of age. The restorative treatment of permanent teeth, including the time for examinations, radiographs and final polishing, accounted for 74% of the total time employed for dental care. It was especially noted that the youths with a caries prevalence of 25 or more filled surfaces at 19 years of age, constituting 24% of the patients, accounted for 65% of the number of filled proximal surfaces and 45% of all filled surfaces, while 38% of the time needed for restorative dentistry and 40% of the time used for individual prophylaxis was associated with this group. This study emphasizes the importance of early identification of the children at high risk for caries so as to provide appropriate preventive therapy.
数据来自199名6至19岁患者的牙科护理记录。恒牙的修复治疗，包括检查、X光检查和最终抛光的时间，占牙科护理总用时的74%。特别值得注意的是，19岁时龋齿患病率达到25个或更多充填面的青少年占患者总数的24%，却占近中面充填数的65%和所有充填面的45%，而修复牙科所需时间的38%和个体预防所用时间的40%与该组相关。本研究强调早期识别龋齿高危儿童以便提供适当预防治疗的重要性。
